Abstract
Pneumococcal carriage is the precursor for development of pneumococcal disease, and is also responsible for transmission of the organism from person-to-person. Children with sickle cell disease (SCD) are particularly susceptible to invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) due to the i n a b i l i t y of their defective immune system to effectively handle encapsulated bacteria. This has led to the recommendation of anti-pneumococcal prophylaxis for SCD children including the administration of penicillin and the 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23) in the past. Though these prophylactic measures decreased the rate of IPD among SCD children, breakthrough disease still occurred, mostly in children aged
